Client contact is very important to current and future business. You need to do more than write client contact information on scraps of paper, back of your business card or on a post-it. Unless you have little office fairies or angels, your contacts will stay right where you left them …. in a pile on your desk, in your briefcase or on the seat of your car.

So, what do you use to organize your contacts’ information? and possibly your entire office including how you deal with listings and closings?

I did some internet search – yes, I Googled it – and found a site which will compare contact managers for you. I reviewed it and was quite impressed. Then I looked on ActiveRain – getting to be another favorite site of mine – and come up with the same gentleman – GaryDavidHall.com. He does have a pretty no nonsense approach and goes into great detail about each manager. (You can also purchase them from that site as well – my jury is out on that as I have always dealt directly with the company.) His ActiveRain Blog has some WONDERFUL tips and suggestions.

But the one thing he said in his blog is to be very committed to your contact management system you purchase. It’s an investment of your time and money, but is greatly worth it as your business will run smoother.

If you have questions about Contact Managers, would like my “professional opinion” or would like a “little office angel or fairy” help you set up or revamp your system, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
